Which Kits are Suitable for UK Schools?

Edvotek manufacture some of the very best educational kits and hardware but they are based in America and some products do prove to be irrelevant for UK schools.

Our STEM event specialists have integrated numerous Edvotek kits into our in-school programmes for years – favouring the ease of use and range of applications of the electrophoresis kits in particular. It means we have a unique overview of the benefits of each product and its relevance to your teaching. We only list resource kits we have fully evaluated - but if there is an item you are looking for in particular, we do have their full catalogue available and can order it for you.

Why Choose Us As Your Supplier?

Edvotek has partnered with a select few distributors in the UK – to ensure their product range is still available now that Edvotek Europe has closed. We are delighted to be of those distributors.

It is easy and quick to order and pay. You can choose to pay by invoice (30 days after receiving goods) or by Credit Card, PayPal, Cheque or Bank Transfer.

Benefit From Experience

We do not have a sales team visiting schools. Instead, our event presenters (experienced science teachers) act as advisors who can talk about the products from the experience of having used them in actual UK classrooms with Yr5-Yr13 pupils – over and over again. It makes a massive difference.

This is our serious attempt to eradicate that sinking feeling, that may be all too familiar, of opening a much anticipated new science kit only to find it contains very little of relevance or, even worse, provides nothing you could not have done better yourself.

Furthermore, if you book an event with us - you can ask our team to bring the equipment you want to your school for inspection.

We are proud of our 100% recommendation record for our event programmes and want to ensure our retail division maintains that record – so we will go that extra mile to provide the best service possible.
